Product Lifecycle Management
Manage every product from concept to retirement. Control revisions, structure BOMs, route change requests, and enforce lifecycle stages — all within a single, auditable system.
Structure and Control at Every Stage
Products evolve constantly. Without structured lifecycle management, revisions conflict, changes slip through without approval, and teams lose visibility of what is current and what is obsolete.
Pulse PLM provides the framework to manage this complexity. Every revision is tracked, every change is routed for approval, and every product state is clearly defined and enforced.
Revision Clarity
Always know which revision is current and why it changed
Controlled Change
No change reaches production without proper review and sign-off
Lifecycle, Revision, Change, BOM
The tools you need to manage product evolution with confidence and traceability.
Bill of Materials
Distinct BOM types — Design, Planning, Production, and Product — each serving a different stage. Multi-level explosion, flattening, and side-by-side revision comparison.
Revision Control
Managed revisions with approval workflows, effectivity dates, and full audit trail. Every change is recorded and traceable.
Change Management
Structured ECR/ECO process with impact analysis, routing, and sign-off. Route changes to the right reviewers automatically.
Lifecycle Stages
Define and enforce product states from prototype through production to obsolescence. Gate transitions with required approvals.
Product Configuration
Variant control through include/exclude rules enabling conditional component selection from a shared BOM.
Approval Workflows
Configurable multi-step routing with parallel and sequential approvals, escalation rules, and event-triggered notifications.
The Central Thread
PLM connects product data to every downstream process. When a BOM changes, manufacturing, planning, and quality all stay in sync.
Supplies the parts and documents that PLM structures
Uses BOMs to calculate material requirements
Explodes BOMs into work orders and routings
Traces quality issues back to specific revisions
The Business Impact
Structured lifecycle management delivers measurable results.
Faster Changes
Automated routing and parallel approvals cut change cycle times significantly.
No Rogue Changes
Enforced workflows ensure every change is reviewed, approved, and documented.
Full Visibility
See exactly where every product sits in its lifecycle and what changes are pending.
Regulatory Compliance
Complete audit trails satisfy ISO 9001 and other industry standards.
